and that's why the u.s. officials have a real gaffe there investigators interrogated the surviving suspect jihad to najaf in hospital i was a tour going on has the details from boston official complaints in the presence of a judge and a lawyer have been filed against one thousand year old boston bombing suspect just hearts are naive this took place at his hospital bed here in boston where he has been kept under strict guard ever since his arrest friday evening we do know of course that he suffered several serious injuries and was unable to speak for this entire time sunday evening he finally awoke and was able to answer several questions and writing and finally today he was conscious and able to react to the charges being brought against him at his hospital bed these charges of course include the use of weapons of mass destruction as well as the militias destruction of property resulting in death now the penalty that's her knife is now dead facing as a death penalty or any term of years behind bars including life he's also facing
12:01 pm
a fine of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars throughout this brief encounter with the judge we do know that mostly it's her knife was. nodding and off or mission of hearing what he was being told he only spoke once when asked whether or not he's able to afford a lawyer and he said no so legal counsel is going to be presented to him and his five being of chechen origin the alleged bomber spanned almost half of their lives in the u.s. after their parents apply for asylum both where are rare visitors to russia but this didn't stop moscow from warning the f.b.i. over the possible terrorist intentions of the eldest brother two years ago questions are now being raised why the f.b.i. failed to take proper action or just manage account takes a look at the possible reasons. as the dust settles in the wake of boston bombings the question many ask is why and how could u.s.
12:02 pm
federal authorities fail to act on the valuable intelligence from two years ago stating that the middle of was radicalized dangerous and quote prepared to join unspecified underground groups that's the information the f.b.i. says they received from the russian government so two years ago the f.b.i. interviewed the guy and reported back to the russians that they found nothing suspicious since then they've apparently failed to monitor the middleman because if they have they probably discovered his you tube page under his own name by the way full of radical content with a playlist titled terrorists so you have intelligence from a foreign government you have the individual openly sharing radical content and yet somehow he's off the radar the fear is the reason the f.b.i. dropped the ball on the alleged russian intelligence is that they treated it as soley russia's problem they may have taken the marylands chechen background into consideration and they may have ended up looking at this individual from a more political rather than purely law enforcement point of view this is possible
12:03 pm
given the history of all the requests and pleas that russia has made in the past with regards to a number of individuals from north caucasus accused of heinous crimes particularly those of chechen background one example yulia moderates who was known as the right hand of the internationally recognized chechen terrorists. just a quick reminder of who was he was killed in two thousand and six. record as a chechen militant leader included in one thousand nine hundred ninety five he and his gang attacked the city of blood urine of skin took up to one thousand eight hundred residents of that city hostage in a hospital including one hundred fifty children at least one hundred forty people died as a result of that attack also as he gained power in the region stated his objective to have all muslim regions in russia break away from the country it was basically a call to start a war on all fronts among his other heinous acts that was to. school hostage crisis in this line in two thousand and four terror that russia will never forget it left
12:04 pm
sui hundred and thirty four people dead one hundred eighty six of them children so the right hand of this monster who helped stage all this whore. arrives in the us somewhere around the year two thousand settles down in boston by the way and receives political asylum despite russia's pleas to treat him as a clerk criminal at the beginning us federal authorities appealed the boston course decision on granting him asylum then they withdrew their opposition after a number of political heavyweights in the us tuned in to support the chechen militants including former sector of state albright so when questioning u.s. federal authorities reaction to the alleged russian intel on the middle ansara knives it is important to keep in mind the mindset perpetuated in the u.s. for many years in favor of the militants in russia and against the russian government's actions to stop them in new york city's former mayor rudy giuliani spoke to the confusion that many americans had as they learned about the background of these hard i have brothers the chechen revolution against russia is an islamic
12:05 pm
based revolution they wanted islamic state in russia. not inherently anti-american right anti russian. american i mean and in fact here's the odd part of this if anything we've been i'm not going to say sympathetic with them but we've certainly been critical of and how far he's gone in dealing with. so if anything they should they shouldn't have this anger at the united states so given all this maybe maybe this political mindset has prompted authorities in the u.s. to drop the ball on valuable law enforcement intelligence on top of. now the caucus is the sale of the suspect brand to the u.s. media to shift focus to armed groups in chechnya and establish a russian connection to the case earlier my colleague spoke to matt clement the regional manager of the i just information company an expert on european and former soviet countries and he says the alleged boston bombers are most likely to have
12:06 pm
been radicalized outside of russia the church a nationality or ethnicity of the prime suspects is actually somewhat misleading for instance they have not actually lived in russia for the last ten years but actual time they spent in the north caucasus appears to be relatively small and there's some disagreement about that and i actually think the most likely outcome is that these guys are probably going to be self radicalized rather than having direct links to militants in the north caucasus there are no number of reasons in which people can become radicalized the details surrounding time alone in his younger brother are somewhat sketchy the moment so to go into too much detail would be to speculate too far however that does seem to be some signs around the older brother time alone in particular to suggest that he was struggling to adapt to life in the united states which is a sign of previous people who become radicalized in this sort of a way indeed this kind of disengagement with society can often lead people to look
12:07 pm
for alternative sources and indeed radical islam can be one of those kind of factors which people can turn to is that as a means to sort of direct their lives. well as always we are interested to know what you think on the stories we're covering and today in our com we are asking for your view on how the boston bombing investigation well on felt so long gone tara web site or to dot com and cast your vote online. fears for the lives of more than half of the hunger strike in guantanamo bay prisoners are finally being shared by the u.s. authorities the military sending additional medical personnel to the camp were a growing number of inmates are refusing food in protests over mistreatment and indefinite detention dr stephens innocuous a retired army medical corps officer and a former senior advisor to the defense department says it might not be long before the strike turns lethal typically people get very sick after
12:08 pm
about fifty days in which they've not had any food but are taking water so they may be getting very sick and i think there's a fear that a number may die within the next several weeks but all the world medical associations are categorically and ethically against force feeding the reason being is that it in fact disrupts what is most important which is establishing a constructive relationship or poorer with the hunger strikers and being able to discuss the terms of their protest the this is a they if they have it also. really overrides there are some autonomy which is very important in medicine we except that is one of our ethical principles so that by and large most organizations across the world feel that it is not acceptable and in this particular case what it does not help resolve their grievances and help

washington's approach to people's freedoms in its own report released on the heels of america one infringement of rights abroad increased electronic surveillance and a spike in gun violence are just some of the issues china has criticized the u.s. for. cesky brings us more. after years of swallowing accusations of violating human rights beijing is fighting back after last year the us published its scalding human rights practices report now china held a mirror back to washington and its role of international human rights judge. let's take a look at where the two clash the u.s. again accuse china of limiting internet freedoms the so-called great firewall of china where beijing has long being under scrutiny for blocking many western websites such as facebook google and you tube but those criticizing china are no saints the sounding people and cispa bills to control internet data have made waves across the atlantic lately and the u.s. government approved interception of private text messages and e-mails for security
12:16 pm
needs are hardly contributing to online freedom china's single party political system and lack of democratic elections also came under fire the chinese report made its wife back at america's multi-party system saying that in what seems to be a democratic process it's really not the people but the amount of money spent on complaints which really decide the winner is the largest part of the us report was dedicated to human rights as they are today from harsh labor conditions to poor salaries indeed china's status of being the world's factory is nothing new and the cheap labor force concept has long been debated beijing hit back with a scathing claim that in the country where racism and discrimination officially do not exist after american and hispanic employees earn forty percent less than the white population in the united states and that's through the glass ceiling for women who earn a twenty percent smaller salary than men the u.s. report also lashed out at the treatment of prisoners and members of opposition in china contrast that with a country which runs notorious guantanamo prison and the allegations of multiple
12:17 pm
human rights abuses within its walls with china highlighting full statistics on all deaths in u.s. prisons and the use of brutal force against peaceful demonstrators in twenty twelve it is no secret that china has a checkered human rights record but by countering the claims of those who it believes should get its own house in order it is quite clear that beijing no longer wants to see a monopoly in the market of examining human rights. now i read dreiser and alice that stop imperialism dot com says despite china undoubtedly having a dire record of human rights itself it does have a point in showing the world the us is in no position to lecture others for the united states to talk about human rights it's incredible hypocrisy when you have a massive hunger strike going on in the concentration camp known as guantanamo when the united states is engaged in violating the human rights of the people of libya of the people of syria but countless other nations around the world the chinese
12:18 pm
certainly have a lot to answer for for in terms of their own human rights record but we should also remember too that the it is the and it states which monopolizes control of international institutions such as amnesty international human rights watch doctors without borders and so forth which act as the arbiters of human rights sitting in judgment of countries whether they are or not violators i'm not suggesting that there aren't good people who work within some of these organizations or that the organizations themselves don't sometimes do good work but often are the united states determines to be human rights violation is whatever the united states does is not a human rights violation. and north korea's making its own response to the u.s. human rights report promising to bolster its nuclear program the country is now reportedly seeking international recognition as a nuclear armed state the u.s. had laid out disarmament as a condition for talks but peeling yang's official newspaper says if negotiations
12:19 pm
happen it will be between equal nuclear armed nations james corbat the editor of a japan based news website says north korea is trying to highlight the western hypocrisy on the issue. the question is whether or not that anyone has the right to say whether or not they are allowed to be a part of this exclusive club i think what we have to understand right now is that north korea is calling out these other nations on the nuclear hypocrisy that's been hardwired into international relations for a long time now and if you look at the actual statement that was made they said for example our position is clear never dream of denuclearization on the korean peninsula before denuclearization of the world is realized this really has to be seen as a poke in the eye at the community that assembled in seoul last year at the nuclear security summit in two thousand and twelve to talk about denuclearization of the world but of course that was directed specifically at countries like north korea and iran which weren't invited to the summit so i think this has to be seen as
12:20 pm

violent dozens of. bombings. last week because. a lot of the trials on the. channel there. and the runoff. election. in the. problem. very much and. then. now jim brann of the stop the war coalition told us the ongoing violence is an extension of the devastating war. the level of violence has never. gone back to what it was ten years ago after the war and talking about it's never
12:23 pm
return to that there's been terrible periods of around two thousand and six and against that things are much better but otherwise the level of violence is constant it's all clearly a consequence of the invasion ten years ago these things the level of sectarian violence for example has no history like that in modern iraq whatever the situation was like in iraq before two thousand and three the fact is that we have an unprecedented situation today and the single cause of that is the war and the occupation and these are these are the remnants of it. there was no process there was no iraqi process for example if you look at libya you find that the libyans did not decide the future of libya it was outside military intervention and what you have is extreme instability and so on and that's a parallel with iraq. now look at some other stories from around the world now. to
